abstract="In the United States, suicide is a leading cause of death among college-aged persons, particularly among men. However, while college-aged men are at higher risk for suicide, it is women who exhibit higher incidences of nonfatal suicidal behavior. Nonfatal suicidal behavior (NFSB) includes acts such as suicidal ideation, self-injury, and suicide attempt. Expanding the research on the gender gap in suicidal behaviors by drawing on a contemporary gender socialization framework, this study examines the role of various gender dimensions and NFSB. Utilizing data from a survey of college students, we find that the gender dimensions, Nurture/Warmth and Affect, operate as risk and protective factors in the use of NFSB for men and women. © 2021 North Central Sociological Association.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
